Episode 195 [ New York (1)]
The director forced himself to open his mouth. Blood flowed out.
“Are you an awakened person?”
Kyunghoon looked back. An old Japanese man was dying.
-The wound is serious. It is difficult to treat even with potions.
It was just as Eve said. Blood was pouring. It seemed difficult for even the awakened to endure.
“Are you from the Ministry of Transportation? “Are we finally moving the relics to a safe place?”
-It’s hard to be sure because the wounds are so severe, but it appears that Daigo is the director of the Tokyo National Museum. The match rate is 87%.
An old window had fallen next to the director. Were you trying to protect the museum with this spear?
He was a person who stayed and died to protect the museum. I could have just nodded and had a good time.
But Kyung-hoon told the truth.
“no. I am a Korean awakener. “I came to take home relics.”
The director’s eyes, which had been closed, opened wide.
He looked at Kyung-hoon and saw a monster. And then he let out a moan.
“Did Japan lose again? “Is history repeating itself?”
The director seemed to have misunderstood something. But it wasn’t much different.
Japan had not yet surrendered, but its leadership had been completely destroyed. It was no different from surrender.
The director looked at the Tokyo sky with cloudy eyes.
Flames and smoke rose, and the cries of other monsters were heard.
He knew he was dying.
Tokyo was already over.
Looting was not the problem. As soon as the monster moved, all the artifacts in the museum were destroyed.
Although he did not regret his death, the museum director wanted to fulfill his responsibility.
“When you take a Korean relic, please take ours too. “We can’t lose our cultural assets to monsters and rioters like this.”
“If you take it to Korea, you might not get it back. “Just like our cultural assets did.”
“It’s okay, we’ll get Japan back. “Please.”
Kyung-hoon looked embarrassed at the unexpected request. Originally, I was planning on taking everything I could.
-The video has been saved. This is an official request from the museum director, who is in charge in a crisis situation. Now there is no need to worry about moving cultural assets. Eve took another drink.
It seemed like they were planning to use this opportunity to resolve legal issues as well.
Tuk.
With those words, the director’s head fell down.
-My heart stopped. Died.
Gyeong-Hoon bowed his head for a moment towards the dead director.
Drurr.
While he lowered his head, the monster rose again.
Kyung-hoon opened his eyes and took out the Samjeonggeom from subspace.
The Samjeonggeom began to glow brightly.
-Injects mana.
It was before Eve finished speaking.
Crumbling.
The monster slowly retreated.
The monster had no intention of fighting such a fearsome opponent. The earthworm monster went back into the ground from whence it came.
Kyung-hoon, who was preparing to fight, made a bewildered face.
Buuuuung.
A drone jumped into the hole where the monster came from. It was a drone sent by Eve.
-It’s moving away. Do you want to chase?
Kyunghoon looked around.
I saw another monster running wild in the distance. It wasn’t something that could be done by just catching one anyway.
And since Japan was at war, I gave up any thought of helping.
“No, let’s move cultural assets.”
Since I received a request from the museum director, I was definitely planning on moving it.
Kyunghoon walked into the empty museum.
***
The war between Korea and Japan ended in such a short time that foreign media called it a one-day war.
The Korea-Japan War became a big issue for several reasons.
A Washington Post column written the day after Korea declared the end of the war expressed the issues well.
[I was surprised. To the war between Korea and Japan and to Korea’s victory.
Although many countries made noise, it was only natural that the United States maintained neutrality between the two allies.
However, looking at the results now, I think we need to think again about whether that neutrality was right.
This war was filled with so many unexpected events.
The most unexpected incident was the battle in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) that ended in a unilateral victory for Korea.
Of course, both countries thought their country would win, but I and most military experts predicted Japan’s victory in the war, excluding the army.
However, the battle that took place in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) flouted all such expectations.
The South Korean military’s use of the Awakened and new weapons, which are not yet well-known, destroyed the Japanese fleet (perhaps another discussion about the Awakened will now begin)
and the powerful Korean missile bombardment of the Japanese mainland and the resulting Mt. Fuji monster. Their appearance in Tokyo.
It was a very tragic misfortune for Japan.
Even now that Korea has declared the end of the war, the Japanese government is not functioning properly.
The Prime Minister and Japanese officials disappeared due to the Tokyo disaster, and Japan is still in a state of anarchy.
In any other time, now that the war is over, help would have come from all over the world, but no country is reaching out to Japan.
No, the world was now engulfed in fear.
There have been no reports of other merchant ships being attacked.
But now that the submarines were believed to have been hit by the monster, no one knew when other ships might be hit.
Now the wars of the past are gone.
The war took a new path thanks to the awakened people, new weapons, and monsters.
But maybe now is not the time to worry about such a war.
This is because it is impossible to know when the sea route will be cut off. ]
While the world was immersed in yet another worry, Korea was intoxicated with its victory in the war.
Millions of people poured out at the Gwanghwamun intersection and chanted for national independence, Taegeukgi flags flew from every house, and cars honked their horns.
It was the same with the Internet.
ㄴLong live the Republic of Korea! hurray!
ㄴHurray! hurray!
ㄴ…
There was endless cheering on all the article posts and bulletin boards.
ㄴIf it weren’t for those damn monsters, we could have invaded Japan…
ㄴJapanese, quickly form a government and surrender!
ㄴHurray!
But are the awakened people really helpful in the war? Wasn’t it only effective against monsters?
If it works on monsters, it works on people too, right?
ㄴBut the awakened person I know can’t even block a gun…
ㄴAre all awakened people the same? Even if 10 guys like you come together, they can’t beat even a single boxer.
ㄴPack width prohibited. I’m going to cry
ㄴHurray! hurray!
But what is that new weapon? Can our country create something like that?
There’s no way it could work. I guess it was imported? Didn’t you buy it from Russia?
Some people talked about the fight that took place amidst cheers
, and they said that many soldiers still died. Let’s thank the soldiers.
The soldiers on the submarine are the most pitiful.
Are there really monsters roaming the sea anymore?
ㄴThe ships are still safe.
ㄴLong live the Republic of Korea!
I wish they would leave the boat alone. If you can’t get to the ship, the only way is through North Korea.
ㄴAt least we’re lucky that we’ve cleared a path to North Korea. The island countries would have been in an uproar, right?
ㄴBritain or Japan….
ㄴ……
ㄴHurrah! hurray!
There were also people who expressed sympathy for the soldiers and worried about what would happen in the future.
But most Koreans were sharing their joy.
The awakened people also shared their joy.
That day, a banquet was taking place in the large hall of the hotel convention center.
It was a consolation dinner prepared by [JK POTION], where Jin Xiawei is the chairman.
The attendees were the awakened people who made a significant contribution to this operation, the directors of the awakened association, and the awakened people invited by [JK POTION].
“But I don’t know why I was invited.”
Eunhye blinked and responded to Gyujeong’s greeting.
She was sitting alone at the table, wearing an awkward suit.
The hall was full of awakened people.
The staff who guided and served were ordinary people, but she seemed to be the only one among the guests who was not an awakened person.
“Isn’t that because Ms. Eunhye does K’s work?”
Jeong Gyu scratched his head and answered the embarrassing words.
“K? “Do you know Kay?”
A young Russian man sitting next to her seemed to have heard her and spoke to her.
Fortunately, it wasn’t Russian, but Eunhye started sweating at the sudden English.
Fortunately, there was help.
“Jung Eunhye. “He’s helping Kay with her work in Korea.”
Grease-sounding English came from next to me.
A handsome middle-aged Latin man introduced her to a young Russian man.
“This is Vasily. “Perhaps because Kay saved his life, he comes running as soon as Kay’s name is mentioned.”
And he introduced the Russian young man to Eunhye in Korean.
Eunhye also knew the Latin man standing next to her. He was the awakened person that Kyung-hoon had introduced before.
“Nice to meet you, Marcelo!”
Grace was happy to see him.
Although she came at a sudden invitation, she did not know any awakened people, so she was left with a borrowed sack of barley.
Marcelo glanced at the table inside. And seeing her happy to see him, he grinned.
“I have something to say to Vasily. I’ll come back later. “Madam.”
He bowed politely and began talking to Vasily.
Eunhye became tearful and looked back at Gyujeong.
“Jeong-gyu, don’t you have some business to do?”
“Oh, that’s because the people at the association are waiting…”
Gyu-jeong slowly stepped back with an embarrassed look on his face.
Eunhye sighed. It seemed like I had come to the wrong place.
I came dressed in a suit, leaving behind a mountain of work, but there was no one who wanted to stay with me.
“Tsk! “Now that it’s like this, I’m going to have fun eating it and then go back.”
It was the moment when Eunhye rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards the piled up food.
A woman spoke to her.
“Why are you here?”
Eunhye opened her eyes wide. She pointed her finger at herself.
“Are you saying this to me?”
“sure.”
But Grace was unbelievable. The woman standing in front of me was a very famous woman.
The chairman of [JK POTION], the organizer of this party. It was Jin Xiawei.
“But my place is here.”
She stammered her answer.
“These people! Welcome. “Everyone is waiting!”
Jin Xiawei held her arm and headed to her seat.
Although he was not a combat awakener, he could not overcome the power of an awakener. Eunhye was dragged by Jin Xiawei’s power.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I thought you weren’t here yet.”
As she approached, someone around the table jumped up and apologized to her.
Fortunately, this time it was someone I knew. It was Liu Yi-ling, the CEO of [World Gold], who first visited Kyung-hoon.
“No, you have nothing to apologize for…”
After that, we saw each other a few more times, but each time, because of that excessive greeting, it felt awkward for Eunhye to see her.
“You know Liu Yiling, right? “K, since Kyung-hoon has given permission, I will introduce you to others.”
Besides Liu Yiling, other people were also sitting around the table.
A young-looking Arab boy and other Chinese women. And there sat the most famous woman in the country.
“nice to meet you. “My name is Hyerin.”
Hyerin smiled warmly.
However, Eunhye felt a little scared of the SG Electronics Chairman’s greeting.
‘crying! Where is Kyung-hoon!’
*
At that time, while the party was in full swing, Kyung-hoon was in another world.
He was standing outside New York, armed.
Next to it stood a dog, a robot, and a girl holding a spear.
All preparations are complete.
The group was planning to go to New York today.
Bailey barked loudly when he saw the skyscraper.
bruise!
